Answer:

a letter from the Spanish ambassador

Step-by-step explanation:

  • On 9 February 1898, Spanish Ambassador Enrique Dupuy de Lome wrote a letter to Spanish Foreign Minister Don Jose Canalezas, expressing De Laum view of Spanish involvement in Cuba and US President McKinley's diplomacy.
  • In the letter, Spanish Ambassador Enrique Dupuy de Lome criticized US President William McKinley, urging the audience to favour only the weak and agitated.
  • The words included in the publicly seized Spanish letter caused an international uproar, which contributed to anti-Spanish and anti-war sentiment in the United States.
  • The publication of the letter brought public support to the Spanish colony Cuba in its war against Spain over independence.
